> better gender ratio and social opportunities probably would have resulted in a stable long term relationship by now. you don't have to date someone in the same field. you just have to not fall into the monoculture surrounding software. it's tough to break out of, but easier now that WFH is more of an option. my partner is a nanny, for instance. we met as housemates and fell in love. we're lesbian, though, so I guess that doesn't really address the gender imbalance issue (or maybe makes it 10x worse for me?)
